I'm 20 and never had sex but my period is late. What could it be?

This Article

I've been getting my period for almost ten years and I have never been good at keep track because it came on so randomly. But it hasn't come on at all and it worries me at first I thought it was a yeast infection but I don't have symptoms. But sometimes when I wipe its white milky stuff and when I looked it up online it sad that it was something that happened before your period, that wasn't the first time it happened but I didn't know it happen before my period. But I still haven't got it. Is there something I can do to bring it on? Or a way to figure out whats wrong? I can't go to my sisters they're all younger than me and my mom is mom and it would be nerve wrecking to tell her and get her all worked up before I even know for sure whats wrong or I'm not overreacting. I'm not the skinniest person but I'm not obese either. This has never happened before. Please help.

Hi!
I'm 22 and never had a problem with my period up to this point! I have never had sex, but I am 3 months late! I am overweight but I working on losing it, I am in college and about to graduate, and no I'm worried about what is happening to me. I just need some advice about my situation since I haven't had to deal with this before. Please help and thank you for your time responding to me!

Thank you for reaching out to us with your concern about not having a period for three months.

High levels of stress can cause a delay or missed period. During times of high stress, the body produces more cortisol. Higher than normal levels trigger the body to shut down non-essential functions. The menstrual cycle is one such function.

Extreme changes in weight, either gaining or losing, can also have an effect on your menstrual cycle.

This is indeed a time of high stress for you. Do your best to find ways to relax and de-stress.

The last time I had sex was around 2 months ago, I was taking the pill for around a month and but then one day I missed a pill and I did not have sex the next day, I did the following day but we used a condom and it didn't break. A couple of days later I got my period (I haven't had sex since because my partner is away) and the following 2 months I got my period but I've been experiencing nausia, I'm always tired, I'm sensitive to certain food smells amd craving certain foods, my period is 5 days late which isn't normal for me. Is it possible that I'm pregnant?. I know sperm can live in the vagina for 3-5 days and when I was on the pill we were having unprotected sex but after that we used condoms and I haven't had sex since. Is this possible?
